Hello fashionistas hope you had a great weekend and having a great week thus far.....below I've included a a piece on yet another hot trend...enjoy....:)
Animal print or leopard print as some might call is clothing and fashion style in which is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal such as the leopard, cheetah, zebra, tiger or giraffe. Animal print is also used for hand bags and footwear and even some jewelry ….the great thing is that fake fur is used instead of animal coat.
Animal prints have been a popular style season after season….for one they are generally expensive and are considered exotic and are a symbol of wealth and status. The animal print can be traced back to history...Kings and other high people used animal print rugs and such as a sign of status.
These days we do however see a lot of average people(like myself) rocking the animal print look….I mean in down town Jozi, what I refer to as ‘’SGODI” (private eye) is full of the animal print….Town boasts some of the sexiest garments…I cannot believe I’m saying this, hahahaha…..Your jumpsuits, pants, dresses, blouses..You name it it’s there.
You can be king...or queen of the jungle and rock this saucy trend this season just ensure in moderation, just like everything else is done these days. Like I said earlier on, we’ve seen the trend come and go many times(guess it depends on how old you are) it is a safe bet to purchase animal print as you will get your money’s worth over and over each season you wear it. With that being said, from the research I’ve done I have rounded up some Do’s and Don’t you dares of Animal print:
I DO NOT advise most to rock animal print as the majority of the outfit but again, this is really on an individual bases and does work for some. Start by purchasing an accessory item to gauge if you really will sport this trend and how comfortable you will feel while rocking it.
Now, it is animal print for goodness sake so it is your goal to feel sexy and you are channelling your inner naughtiness! If this is NOT what you’re going for then clearly this trend is not for you but then that would just make me ask you why not? Being sexy does the body and the mind some good not to mention other’s too!
I DO suggest that everyone get their paws on some print! Use the look when accessorising an outfit and throw on a pair of leopard wedges or throw your gloss in a zebra clutch (not at the same time, I get to that below). Don’t worry you will look ferocious but the print doesn’t bite!
DO NOT cover yourself in head to toe animal print unless you are trying to be picked up by the police for you know what!
DO NOT mix prints! Unless you’re Rihanna and you're bold enough to do so. I’m kidding it can work…so I kind of take the point I made earlier back. If you can pull it off ,why not!?
DO wear your print with solids! Red and animal print is always a beautifully safe bet.
DO accessorise with gold toned jewelry. Gold jewelry makes the prints look so regal and rich! Again, this is a blanket statement and will not apply to every outfit but definitely the majority.
DO NOT be afraid of coloured animal prints.
Here are some looks to convince and inspire you!
